In Memoriam: Dean Barnett

From the Weekly Standard:

    It’s my sad duty to report that our good friend and valued contributor Dean Barnett passed away today. He was a remarkable man–principled, witty, and to all of us, a model of grace and courage. We mourn his passing and cherish his memory.

    -William Kristol

Barnett created SoxBlog, blogged on Hugh Hewitt’s website and drove Mitt Romney around the 1994 Seante campaign.

Barnett suffered from cystic fibrosis. He was 41.
